Congrats  What's going to be your first cook?  I ordered the 18.5 but it's still stuck in a snow storm in the East.

I bought a BBQ Guru DigiQ 2 with a 10cfm fan about 5 years ago to use with my 18.5" WSM.  I absolutely love it.  Once you get used to a power draft, you wonder how you smoked without it as they will hold temps as long as you have fuel to burn.   The current model that is comparable to my DigiQ 2 would be the DigiQ-DX2 (looks identical to me).

They did not have the CyberQ II wireless models when I bought mine and it looks interesting if you want to fool with wifi data from the pit.  Honestly, for the difference in price, I'm so confident in my Guru I would not think having data sent to your smart phone would be necessary and would probably just save the money.  But it would be tempting. I also think the CyberQ can run 2 pits or an extra meat probe in 1 pit if I recall correctly.

My vote is a DigiQ, as it's a proven performer.

Here is mine
